Denver, CO, 07/24/2003 --- Mr. Solomon’s Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology (PNPT) device, an electrical circuit without moving parts, can both, alter its own weight and the weight of a third object. Experiments were conducted in a sealed glass jar.

Mr. Solomon’s devices change weight by up to +/- 3 grams over a 3-hour period. The devices weigh between 2 and 300 grams. A weight loss of 41.5 grams has been observed for 3 seconds, but is not yet repeatable. During the experiment, he has noted the current weight, picked up the device, and placed the device back on the scale (Mettler P1200). The weight observed was the current weight, and not some other value. These devices operate at about 2 to 3 Watts. Estimated energy required is between 60 and 120 kJ per gram weight change.

Mr. Solomon is at proof-of-concept. The electromagnetic structure of matter, and not mass, is the source of gravity. This electromagnetic structure creates non-linear time dilation. This non-linearity of time dilation causes the effect of gravity. Modern physics states it the other way around, that gravity causes time dilation. His success, stemming from this significant paradigm shift on gravitational effects, seriously questions the validity of modern theories on gravity.

His new approach to gravity led to the proposal that momentum exchange is a process and not an event. It is possible to intercede in the momentum exchange process, to create virtual momentum exchange – changing direction without an external force.

He is currently working towards completion of proof of concept, with regard to force field circuits. It is possible to project a force field that is either attractive or repulsive on a third object. Over a period of 3 hours, he has observed 0.1 gram weight loss on 37.6 gram polystyrene brick.

Future Technology

Mr. Solomon is seeking funding to take his technology from proof of concept to prototype engine. The prototype engine will be enclosed within the body of a prototype craft that is capable of moving in any direction without the use of propellants.

Modern theories on gravity will not deliver the space propulsion technologies of the future. Mr. Solomon’s Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology will.

Mr. Solomon is a management consultant and technology pioneer, who has for the last 30 years, been working on a rational and robust approach to reusable launch propulsion systems, that manipulate the effects of gravity. His hypotheses and results are published in the Journal of Theoretics, and the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conferences; Publications can accessed via his website, http://www.QuantumRisk.com/.

Years ago, there was an article in an electronics magazine about a "fan" that moved air with no moving parts. If I remember right, it was just a coil of wire with a voltage applied. My feeling at the time was that it had no value for using for thrust as the current needed was impractical. I have searched the internet for this with no luck. Anyone have any comments?

He is planning to construct an autonomous craft of modular lifter cells sometiime in the future. The problem is power density ( KWH/kg) of power storage systems. He claims that energy efficiency would be better than on helicopters, so if he can achieve lifting a diesel generator, it could theorethically fly.

Electron Kinetic Energy = Ion Kinetic Energy because they are both in the same electric field.

Therefore,

0.5 m(-) v(-).v(-) = 0.5 m(+) v(+).v(+)

or

v(-) = v(+) . [m(+) / m(-)]^0.5

Electron Momentum parted to device = m(-).v(-)

Ion Momentum parted to device = m(+).v(+)

Rearranging,

Electron momentum parted to device = m(-).v(+) . [m(+) / m(-)]^0.5

= v(+).[m(+).m(-)]^0.5

= m(+).v(+).[m(-)/m(+)]^0.5

Since electron mass and ion mass is fixed,

Electron Momentum parted to device = m(+).v(+).k

where k = [m(-)/m(+)]^0.5 < 1

Net Momentum Transferred = m(+).v(+) – m(-).v(-)

= m(+).v(+) { 1 - k }

Note, for all pratical purposes k approximately zero or net momentum transferred is that of the Ion.

That is Ion Momentum > Electron Momentum

Therefore, it works!

There is a net greater momentum transferred by the Ion then by the Electron.

The only way to increase the effect is to increase the electric field voltage, increase the number of momentum transfer points or use a heavier gas.

Note, however, there is a limit to how much voltage that can be applied. Stripping more then one electron causes the efficiency of the effect to be reduced, because the effect is caused by mass differences, and not ionization.

AFAIK, to the edge of the atmosphere. Its creator also claims, that a slight unexplained propulsion force has been measured in near vacuum. Go figure. But you are free to try it yourself, the blueprints and help is available on the website.

Just to let you guys know that I've made the 100 page iSETI report (Reaching the Stars: The Interstellar Space Exploration Technology Initiative) available for free from my website http://www.QuantumRisk.com.

There have been people making wild claims about gravity control on obscure sites for as long as I have been using the internet (8 or 9 years). In fact, people were making these claims in the 60's (John Searl) and even earlier(There's all sorts of mysterious stories about Tesla).

I'm not a skeptic in most regards, and I would dearly love for someone to make this breakthrough that is supposed to be around the corner, but no one ever comes up with any substantial proof.

It's obvious that we don't understand the nature of gravity and inertia, and the fact that it is the weakest of the fundamental forces of the universe gives me hope that we may be able to exercise some control over it.

Our best chance of understanding gravity is probably from the planned experiments in the Large Hadron Collider where they intend to search for the Higgs boson. But that's not due for a few years yet, they have to build the thing first

I do wish teams like GCT, and Mr Solomon here all the best in their research, but I think they have a nasty habit of getting people's hopes up and then dashing them terribly. There is a reason why there is a system of evidence, peer review, and yes, cynicism in scientific circles.

The system of peer review at the present time starts with the premise, that gravity modification is not possible.

The patent process does not allow patents for "perpectual machines". Gravity modification devices fall into this category. Individuals who have developed these devices cannot get the intellectual property protection to ease publication.

- Perhaps cynicism was a poor choice of words . Scientific study shouldn't be approached with a bias, I agree. The scientific community are inherently wary of claims about gravity control though, because no real evidence has been produced that anyone is capable of it. At least, no real evidence that is reproducable

- There is in fact a serious, concerted, international effort at present to understand the nature of gravity, and perhaps one day have some control over it. This is of course the experiments at CERN, and other places to find the Higgs boson.

I dearly hope something positive comes out of your research, and that it is reproducable. I would love as much as you for some sort of gravitational and inertial control system to become available, but we need evidence. If you can produce evidence of your claims, then I think research money will be apportioned accordingly. As it stands it is too far outside of our current scientific model to be throwing large amounts of money at.

As it happens, private and public research institutes have spent money on anti-gravity research in the past, and the results were inconclusive. Namely the case of Mr Yevgeny Podkletnov. Boeing, and several universities attempted to reproduce Mr Podkletnov's experiment, and nobody was successful. I believe that people have also tried to reproduce the work of John Searl, to no avail.

These people tend to be rather mysterious, and all have very convenient excuses for not being able to provide evidence of their work(Marcus Hollingshead, Fran De Aquino, John Searl, etc.)

Forgive me for sounding cynical I really do wish you all the best in your research. I also believe that there is probably a sound scientific basis for some of the theories about anti gravity, and gravity shielding. But I think we need to take a very careful, open approach to researching the matter, to avoid this situation where people make unsubstanciated claims about anti gravity that ultimately hurt that field of research in general because of the negative publicity they generate.
